The usefulness of bronchial challenge tests in the diagnosis of occupational asthma [PDF]
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is the individual ability to respond with bronchoconstriction to a variety of specific and nonspecific stimuli which do not cause these symptoms among healthy subjects.

Early Growth Response 1-Associated Epithelial Autophagy-Related Changes in Allergic Airway Inflammation. [PDF]
House dust mite (HDM) exposure induces early growth response 1 (EGR1) expression in airway epithelial cells and is accompanied by autophagy‐associated alterations, including increased LC3B‐II and Vps34 levels and decreased p62 abundance. Manipulation of EGR1 expression modulates these autophagy‐related changes, whereas pharmacological inhibition of ...

Bronchial Provocation Tests [PDF]
Certain patients, especially those with asthma, exhibit an increased bronchoconstrictor response to a variety of stimuli. Bronchial provocation tests have developed as a method of assessing this bronchial hyperreactivity. They involve the measurement of lung function tests relating to airway calibre before and after brief exposure to a constrictor ...

Bronchial Provocation Tests in Asthma [PDF]
Bronchial provocation tests are necessary for precise aetiological diagnosis in bronchial asthma. This is illustrated by the results in 9,364 bronchial provocation tests compared with skin tests and nasal tests. The technique of bronchial provocation testing and its interpretation are described in detail.
